Cowles Lauds Crawly Things
By United Press
Zoologist Raymond Cowles has taken lip the defense of such critters as desert scorpions, black widow spiders, trap-door spiders and tarantulas.
Cowles said their bites may be painful but are not gravely dangerous to adult human beings, except in cases of special allergies. The sting of the large desert scorpion may be less severe to some persons than that of a bee, Cowles added.
The bite of the black widow, while excruciatingly painful, is seldom fatal, Cowles noted, and the fearsome looking tarantula is probably the most over-rated villain of all. It cannot inflict serious wounds nor is it aggressive.
Dr. Cowles said a tarantula makes a fine pet and lives happily in captivity.

Cabinet Job
By JIM BYLIN
The ASSC Senate was sparked into open debate last Wednesday when Vi Jameson, ASSC vice president, and Jean Niers-bach, AWS president, questioned AMS President Bob Meads on the appointment of Walt Williams to the AMS cabinet as orientation chairman.
They quizzed Meads on his reasoning in appointing a man to a voting cabinet post for two months, a position in which the J duties have already been accomplished. Also making the -ap-; pointment without the usual method of petitioning for applicants.
Constitutional Bylaw
The discussion was built around the constitutional bylaw | that states that to be eligible for AMS president, a man must ! serve as a voting member of the j AMS cabinet.
The AMS laws in turn state I that for a vacant post, petitions are to be accepted and notice j served of the opening.
“This means that a man can serve on a program for only two months after the main part of his duties are over and then run for president. This doesn’t give a man a good background in AMS activities, and anything as biased as this makes a farce of student government,” Miss Jameson told the DT recently.
Not Personal
“This is not personal to Walt Williams, but there is no reason why this wasn't publicized. This is our main objection,” she continued.
Dick McAdoo, senior class president, when asked about the appointment of Williams to the open cabinet post, said:
“I think that it is fairly obvious that he was set down by the power’s higher up and that Dennis Fagerhault will be put up for president. I think definitely that he is going to run for AMS president.”

NOVEL ON UNIVERSITY LIFE PICKED FOR READINGS
George Weller’s novel, “Not to Eat, Not for Love,” wi!l be read by Dr. Eleazer Lecky, professor of English, in the weekly noon reading given by the department of English in 129FH today.
“Not to Eat, Not for Love,” a kaleidoscope of Harvard University in the late 1920’s, follows the college life theme presented in each noon reading.
Weller’s writing closely resembles James Joyce, Aldous Huxley and John Dos Passos in that it has no real plot but is a continuation of scenes and character portrayals, Lecky said.
Two other novels of Weller’s include Klutch and Differential” and “The Crack in the Column.”
Weller, a war correspondent for the New York Times, was the first in his field to concurrently serve as a trained paratrooper and a correspondent.
He won the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism and was a Nieman fellow at Harvard where he graduated in 1929. At the present time he has a position with the Chicago Daily News.
Dr. Lecky, a Harvard graduate, has been on the English faculty for 19 years. He is a popular lecturer and in January gave a talk on The Educated Man” for the initiation of students in Phi Kappa Phi, national scholastic society. _

SC Student Gets $500 Essay Award
Charles McCann, a candidate for the doctor of social work degree at SC has received a $500 award in a national essay competition sponsored by the Foundation for Voluntary Welfare.
His essay on “A Way to Extend Voluntary Activity and Organization in Social Welfare in the Area of the Aging” was selected as best in its category.
One of four doctoral candidates currently enrolled in SC’s School of Social Work, McCann based his essay on research he has been doing for his dissertation on guardianship of the aging in Los Angeles County.
McCann is executive director of the Community Planning Council of the Pasadena area, an organization providing cooperative planning of community health, welfare and recreational services.
A 1949 graduate of San Diego State College, McCann received his master’s degree in social work from SC in 1951 and has ben enrolled in the advanced program of the SC School of Social Work since 1954.

This building is known as the “scene dock,” the place where 'the scenery for SC drama and opera productions is constructed.
During the next few weeks, anyone who drops in to view the work, besides having his toes stepped on several times by busy people and getting specks of sawdust and possibly paint on his clothes, will see a double construction of scenery going on.
Sets For Play
Scenery for “Susannah” and “Cradle Song,” productions of the opera and drama departments, is being built there now.
John Blankenchip, assistant professor of drama, is the designer of both sets and is supervising their construction.
The play "Cradle Song,” to
parking regions can be enlarged or improved.
Lists Possibilities
1. The possibility of improving on-street parking by painting curbs and developing the parallel parking system to a greater degree of efficiency.
2. One-hour time limit zones could be abolished in ceilal/i vital areas around the university providing more space fo. students.
3. There is a large parking lot at the California Museum which could be made available to SC students.
4. Dr. Reynolds is being cjii tacted to discover for the committee university policies pertaining to the closed parking lots available for the sole use of off-campus groups.
Initial Effort
This four point program is the initial effort of the committee to come up with a sound solution to the university paik-j ing problem.
J The committee is scheduled
Kotin to Talk In Nebraska
Dr. Paul Kotin, associate professor of pathology in the School of Medicine, will give two invited lectures today at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Neb.
He will speak on the effect of air pollutants, on the respiratory tract and on laboratory biological systems. He will also conduct a seminar for the Institute for Cellular Research, speaking to the combined science staff of the University of Nebraska and the Lincoln Medical Society.
Yale U n i v e r s ity Medical School has invited Dr. Kotin to conduct a seminar in Newr Haven, Conn., on March 11 on bi ological mechanisms for environ mental carcinogenic agents.
“simple architectural forms,” he said.
He designed the set so that 40 arches are being employed in windows, doorways and other parts of the set.
Sets T sed Alternately The color of the set, according to Blankenchip, will be beige or a sand color. The flats (flat pieces of scenery) will be covered with burlap to “suggest the tex ture of stone walls.”
The opera “Susannah” uses four sets but two acts in the folk-opera call for five scene changes each so that the sets must be used alternately throughout the prpduction.
A churchyard, a front porch, a river bank in the w’oods and the interior of a church have to be constructed.
Tennessee Location His design of the set was evolved through attempting to portray the theme or vein of the opera in the appearance of the scenery.
“Crude simplicity of the hill-folk and a severity also” is what Blankenchip tries to portray in the sets of the Tennessee setting of the opera.
“The church has to seat about 50 people in the pews,” Blankenchip stated, “and will be a simple, stark, rural church.”

When Committee Chairman Bob Korinke calls the session to order at 2:30 this afternoon in 129 FH, he will launch a probe into student politics in general as well as alleged “7NS infiltration of the DT.”
Statement of Purpose Korinke will begin the hearings with another statement of the purpose of the series.
“We are not anxious to crucify or embarrass any individual,” he said. “What we are actually trying to do is find out if SC’s student politics has teen harmed by the existence of this clandestine group—if it exists.” “In addition,” he said, “our purpose is not to defame anyone's name by using hearsay. We don’t want anyone to accuse someone of membership in the organization unless they have definite proof.”
Hearings Rules The hearings will be conducted according to the rules of the American Bar Association as was suggested by the committee's advisor, Dr. Totton J. Anderson, professsor of political science.
According to these rules, after testifying, witnesses will have the chance to read into the record any statement they wish concrning why they answered the way they did,

FRATERNITY HEADS FAIL TO TURN IN PLEDGE LISTS
Seven fraternity houses are in danger of having their pledges dropped from the official interfraternity pledge list due to the failure of house presidents to turn in their pledge lists.
Larry Courtney, Interfraternity Coordinator stated that as far as he was concerned, the pledges of Chi Phi, Kappa Alpha Phi, Phi Kappa Tau. Psi Upsilon (which has been suspended anyway), Sigma Alpha Mu, Tau Delta Phi and Zeta Beta Tau are not recognized.
“Each of the groups was properly notified that these lists had to be in. It would not be fair to the other fraternities who make an honest effort to abide by the rules to make an exception,” Courtney said.
“However, the enforcing of this rule or the exceptions will be determined by the Inter-Fraternity Council.”
Courtney was not sure how the word “official’’ would be interpreted, but as far as he is concerned, the men involved will not be eligible for initiation until the end of the fall semester.

SC Student Gets $500 Essay Award
Charles McCann, a candidate for the doctor of social work degree at SC has received a $500 award in a national essay competition sponsored by the Foundation for Voluntary Welfare.
His essay on “A Way to Extend Voluntary Activity and Organization in Social Welfare in the Area of the Aging” was selected as best in its category.
One of four doctoral candidates currently enrolled in SC’s School of Social Work, McCann based his essay on research he has been doing for his dissertation on guardianship of the aging in Los Angeles County.
McCann is executive director of the Community Planning Council of the Pasadena area, an organization providing cooperative planning of community health, welfare and recreational services.
A 1949 graduate of San Diego State College, McCann received his master’s degree in social work from SC in 1951 and has ben enrolled in the advanced program of the SC School of Social Work since 1954.
group of people who seem to j the convent” by using arches and know just what they are doing.
This building is known as the “scene dock,” the place where 'the scenery for SC drama and opera productions is constructed.
During the next few weeks, anyone who drops in to view the work, besides having his toes stepped on several times by busy people and getting specks of sawdust and possibly paint on his clothes, will see a double construction of scenery going on.
Sets For Play
Scenery for “Susannah” and “Cradle Song,” productions of the opera and drama departments, is being built there now.
John Blankenchip, assistant professor of drama, is the designer of both sets and is supervising their construction.
The play "Cradle Song,” to
parking regions can be enlarged or improved.
Lists Possibilities
1. The possibility of improving on-street parking by painting curbs and developing the parallel parking system to a greater degree of efficiency.
2. One-hour time limit zones could be abolished in ceilal/i vital areas around the university providing more space fo. students.
3. There is a large parking lot at the California Museum which could be made available to SC students.
4. Dr. Reynolds is being cjii tacted to discover for the committee university policies pertaining to the closed parking lots available for the sole use of off-campus groups.
Initial Effort
This four point program is the initial effort of the committee to come up with a sound solution to the university paik-j ing problem.

Kotin to Talk In Nebraska
Dr. Paul Kotin, associate professor of pathology in the School of Medicine, will give two invited lectures today at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Neb.
He will speak on the effect of air pollutants, on the respiratory tract and on laboratory biological systems. He will also conduct a seminar for the Institute for Cellular Research, speaking to the combined science staff of the University of Nebraska and the Lincoln Medical Society.
Yale U n i v e r s ity Medical School has invited Dr. Kotin to conduct a seminar in Newr Haven, Conn., on March 11 on bi ological mechanisms for environ mental carcinogenic agents.
“simple architectural forms,” he said.
He designed the set so that 40 arches are being employed in windows, doorways and other parts of the set.
Sets T sed Alternately The color of the set, according to Blankenchip, will be beige or a sand color. The flats (flat pieces of scenery) will be covered with burlap to “suggest the tex ture of stone walls.”
The opera “Susannah” uses four sets but two acts in the folk-opera call for five scene changes each so that the sets must be used alternately throughout the prpduction.
A churchyard, a front porch, a river bank in the w’oods and the interior of a church have to be constructed.
Tennessee Location His design of the set was evolved through attempting to portray the theme or vein of the opera in the appearance of the scenery.
“Crude simplicity of the hill-folk and a severity also” is what Blankenchip tries to portray in the sets of the Tennessee setting of the opera.
“The church has to seat about 50 people in the pews,” Blankenchip stated, “and will be a simple, stark, rural church.”
ordered by the Senate after certain student leaders charged that the sub rosa organization exists on this campus and that it is exerting its influence on SC politics.
When Committee Chairman Bob Korinke calls the session to order at 2:30 this afternoon in 129 FH, he will launch a probe into student politics in general as well as alleged “7NS infiltration of the DT.”
Statement of Purpose Korinke will begin the hearings with another statement of the purpose of the series.
“We are not anxious to crucify or embarrass any individual,” he said. “What we are actually trying to do is find out if SC’s student politics has teen harmed by the existence of this clandestine group—if it exists.” “In addition,” he said, “our purpose is not to defame anyone's name by using hearsay. We don’t want anyone to accuse someone of membership in the organization unless they have definite proof.”
Hearings Rules The hearings will be conducted according to the rules of the American Bar Association as was suggested by the committee's advisor, Dr. Totton J. Anderson, professsor of political science.
According to these rules, after testifying, witnesses will have the chance to read into the record any statement they wish concrning why they answered the way they did,

FRATERNITY HEADS FAIL TO TURN IN PLEDGE LISTS
Seven fraternity houses are in danger of having their pledges dropped from the official interfraternity pledge list due to the failure of house presidents to turn in their pledge lists.
Larry Courtney, Interfraternity Coordinator stated that as far as he was concerned, the pledges of Chi Phi, Kappa Alpha Phi, Phi Kappa Tau. Psi Upsilon (which has been suspended anyway), Sigma Alpha Mu, Tau Delta Phi and Zeta Beta Tau are not recognized.
“Each of the groups was properly notified that these lists had to be in. It would not be fair to the other fraternities who make an honest effort to abide by the rules to make an exception,” Courtney said.
“However, the enforcing of this rule or the exceptions will be determined by the Inter-Fraternity Council.”
Courtney was not sure how the word “official’’ would be interpreted, but as far as he is concerned, the men involved will not be eligible for initiation until the end of the fall semester.

What Happens—If?
If the committee does find ] evidence of the existence of the | secret TNE party, on one is quite sure what will happen io the “guilty.”
ASSC President Carl Terzian, I commenting on this, said the re-I suits of the committee hearings might be referred to the Student Activities Committee.
"Of course,” he said ."I have : no idea what they will do about I it if someone is proven to be a ' member of TNE.”
The Student Activities Com-| mittee, composed of administra-I tors and faculty members, has the power to expell students from school. Consensus of opin-f ion, however, is that the Com-: mitttee will not be so harsh.
Many Quizes This is not the first time ! TNE’s existence on campus has been investigated. Since the party was banned from campus after World War II by Chancellor Rufus B. von KIeinSmid, similar investigations have occurred on an almost annual basis.

"Since early days we have never submitted to any vicious invaders and we’ve always remained a shelter for all victims of persecution,” Dr. Dib said in his talk entitled “Lebanon: Yesterday and Today.”
The diplomat, who has been in the United States since 1935, described Lebanon as a “land of contrasts,” explaining that the 5000 square mile country is bordered by Palestine, Syria and the Mediterranean Sea and has absorbed much of the surrounding culture.
